Two gilded bronze candlesticks in the Queen Anne style, dating to the 19th century (1850–1900), each approximately 20 cm high and 11 cm wide by 11 cm deep, in good used condition with signs of age and some imperfections, originating from France.
Description from the seller
These two gilded candelabras in the Queen Anne style, dating from the nineteenth century, show that balance so characteristic between sobriety and elegance that defined the Victorian reinterpretation of this English style. Each piece presents a harmonious design, with a stem that combines soft curves and fluid transitions, without excessive ornamentation but with enough formal richness to convey refinement.
The first stands out for its rounded and well-proportioned base, which rises toward a bulbous central body that is perfectly symmetrical. Its silhouette is continuous, almost sculptural, with warm gilding that enhances every curve and provides a sense of solidity and nobility.
The second, although it shares the same general aesthetic, introduces a more faceted character in the base and a slightly more angular shaping in the body. That contrast between smooth surfaces and defined planes gives it a different presence, more architectural, without losing the classic essence of the ensemble. The small opening visible at the top of the stem adds a curious detail, typical of antique pieces that have lived and been used.
Both candelabras preserve the patina of time, which accentuates their authenticity and decorative value. They are pieces that work both together and separately, capable of adding a touch of historical distinction to a table, a shelf, or a fireplace, and that embody the timeless elegance of the Queen Anne style reinterpreted in the nineteenth century.
